You have to feel sorry for Brother Chairman, he can't seem to sit still. First, he instructs the audience to sit down and listen because the music is "part of the program", then he fidgets a little and checks his phone, then gets up because he forgot his songbook (all within 2 minutes). How can you expect the R&F to sit still for the musical prelude when the chairman doesn't. I could not watch more than a few minutes. -

Dont Give Them More Power Than They Deserve
by Tech49 ina new montra that was recently adopted by the wife and i is this:.
dont give them more power than they deserve.. here's why i say that, and i point this to those of you still in the congregation, still trying to decide what you want to do.. recently, our family had a little family reunion gathering of sorts, and we were in the company of some extended family that were either df or da, to varying degrees.
we made it very clear, to any and all in attendance, that we wanted to be respectful and kind, despite any previous perceptions about our "status".... and that our feelings on a lot of things had "softened", and "changed" over the last 2 years.. i am being purposefully slightly vague, but i think you get the point.

I would tell the elders to go visit the elderly widows and orphans or the single mom with kids if they have so much time on their hands! -

Any time you didn't know what the h#ll to do and just let it ride?
by Esse quam videri ini was conducting the theocratic ministry school years and years and years and years ago and announced the #3 speaker up to the platform.
this of course was the sister/sister talk at the table.
up comes the publisher, sister so-and-so and her 25 year old daughter as her householder.

Why do most Christians churches have masonic and/or pagan symbols?
by kabwell inhas anyone looked at the local churches in their area and seen pagan and freemason symbols both inside and outside.
i am not a jw but at least they don't seem to follow this trend.
why do "christians" wear a symbol of torture and death ?

Welcome Kabwell,
" I have bibles worth thousands of dollars each." BTW, Mark Sanderson would like to talk to you about your collection.
I agree that you can find a "pagan" origin to many symbols.

Samuel Herd's statement about donations and Cialdini's social proof
by slimboyfat insamuel herd made a statement a few weeks ago about halting construction work, laying off bethel workers and reducing printing output: severe cutbacks all round.
he said, like the head of a household, the gb has to make sure the organisation is living within its means.
but he added a very careful phrase, something like: "be assured brothers these measures have not been taken as a result of any lack of financial support on your part.

@NewYork44M:
"Social proof", is that when someone yells "fire" in a movie theater and people will remain in their seat when they see that everyone else remains seated?

Sub CO and Wife, both Reg Pioneers, go back to NC to live with his Parents
by James Jack inthis couple both in their mid 30's, lived with me for awhile and i gave them employment, because they are both regular pioneers and married right out of high school, also because i am that kind a of guy that likes to help people.
various friends have been helping them out for years, so i guess it was my turn to help them out.. the brother got stupid with me, so i told him i had enough of them both and that it was time for them to go elsewhere.. the co loved them so much, the pioneer elder was made cobe in another congregation and a sub co. the brother also got to conduct pioneer service school.
(so he is a hot shot now).

@Prologos,
a brother who is in the country "illegally" is not allowed privileges in the congo, but they can be "used" for things like sound system, attendant, literature assistant, etc.

Oh, oh the pinkie ring makes another appearance on the right hand of the GB presenter. The ring must be a sign of their membership in the exclusive FDS class that is probably draw from the Revelation scripture where they are given a pebble by Christ. -

The "Anointed Australian" types would not get past the receptionist at the gates of NY Bethel. I think we all recognize this.
